Jamie Parker On Stage - Theatre Credits, Bio and Tickets

Jamie Parker was born in Cleveland in 1979 before moving to Darlington with his family at a young age. After graduating from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in 2002, he started his London theatre career playing the original role of Scripps in The History Boys, written by Alan Bennett, alongside James Corden, Dominic Cooper and others. Although the play was an original London stage production at the Royal National Theatre, the role took Parker to Broadway, Sydney, Wellington and Hong Kong playing the piano, singing and acting in the multi-award winning play. The awards included the Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Play and the Tony Award for Best Play in 2005 and 2006 respectively.

Outside of the theatre Parker has acted in various television shows including in his History Boys co-star, James Corden’s comedy series Horne and Corden, in ITV’s Endeavour in 2014 and BBC’s Silent Witness (2007, 2014) among others. He has also appeared in Shakespeare Uncovered: Derek Jacobi on Richard II alongside fellow thespian actor Derek Jacobi in 2012. He later acted alongside Kenneth Branagh and Tom Cruise in the historical thriller film Valkyrie (2008).
